Chapter 328 Happy Money
Chase?
How to chase?
It's daybreak!
It’s raining!
They have been busy all night, do they still have the energy to chase?
But if anyone wanted to object, no one dared to fart in front of Kuroiwa Nami's eyes that seemed to want to kill people.
"If the Shen family goes this way, they will be further away from the capital."
Kuroiwa Nami gnashed her teeth, "With Yamashita Haru guarding the road, she won't be able to return to Beijing."
She stared at the fools, "Today will be our only chance."
She would never allow the Shen family to get out of control.
If Shen dares to ask anyone for help, she will kill that person's family at all costs.
"The elders of the delegation are waiting for us. So many of our clansmen in prison are waiting for us. Take your knives. If necessary, we will not let them go."
"Hi!"
Nagayama Takao and others agreed at the same time.
Nami Kuroiwa was worried about Haru Yamashita who was guarding the road, so she went to meet him first. She asked him to keep an eye on all the passers-by while she went straight along the road. She went to all the villages on both sides and asked if they had seen any strangers or if they had discovered anything strange last night.
In her opinion, if Shen Ning wanted to escape and didn't want to attract attention, she could only ask for help from the farmers at the foot of the mountain.
If only she could find...
While Kuroiwa Nami was gritting her teeth in her heart, she put on a sweet smile and asked this aunt, that uncle, this brother, and that little brother about everything.
If you encounter a difficult one, you can give him ten or twenty cents. After the copper coins are all gone, you can give him silver dimes.
In short, she would do anything to find Chen Ning.
But at this time, Shen Ning had already eaten a bowl of rice and flour porridge that was barely thick.
Of course, she was also asked to take out the steamed buns and mung bean cakes from the bag.
There are not many things, but mung bean cake is rare even among farmers.
The whole family enjoyed the meal happily.
Chen Ning was worried that Gou'er would go out and brag, which would bring him disaster, so she simply invited the whole family to come to Beijing together.
It's just a ride anyway, whether you're carrying one person or a family.
Moreover, Wang Gou'er should be a good person. If he had opposed when the old Liu Laolao sold her property to save Qiaojie, it would have been impossible for her to succeed so easily.
So it’s better to be safe.
"Grandma, it's so nice to be together as a family. Regardless of whether I can go to Rongguo Mansion or not, my uncle will be grateful to you for sending me there. Let's get to know each other and get to know each other. When we go to Beijing in the future, no matter what, we will have a place to rest. What's more..."
In order to let their family go together, Chen Ning also exhausted her brains, "There is a lot of business in that mansion, and my uncle can get the purchase price. Even if he only buys some cloth to wear himself, he can save 30% if not half.
I may say something surprising, but although digging for food in the soil is a stable life, it is still poor.
Why don't you come with us to meet your brother-in-law? If that doesn't work out, we can even open a grocery store in the village. It will be better than digging for a living in the dirt. ”
this? Wang Gou'er was really moved.
He couldn't help but look at Granny Liu.
According to him, it would be better to agree to it immediately.
But this Mrs. Shen was considered a guest of my mother-in-law, and from what she said, she was very respectful to my mother-in-law.
He didn't dare to look past his mother-in-law and could only plead with his eyes.
"Will this... be too much trouble for your uncle?"
Granny Liu was also tempted. She had not done anything for Madam Shen, and now the whole family was leaning on her. If it was just her and she had invited them, it would be fine, but her uncle was also involved.
“No, no!”
Shen Ning waved her hands repeatedly, "My uncle has no children in his life, and he has always treated me like his own granddaughter."
"Mother~"
Liu was pulled by Wang Gou'er and hurriedly called "Liu Laolao".
"Then let's do it together!"
Granny Liu slapped her thigh and agreed, "Gou'er, go get a car, and we'll pack up."
“Hey~”
Wang Gou'er jumped up with joy.
He ran in a hurry to find a car.
Although it is raining outside, the official road is still passable.
In order to protect the family's women and children from getting wet, he and the old man driving the cart built a simple carport with oilcloth.
Chen Ning got on the donkey cart in a refreshing manner. It was the first time for Ban'er and Qing'er to ride in a cart. They were well-behaved children, well-fed and did not cry or make a fuss. They were very well-behaved.
only……
Looking at the direction the donkey cart was heading, Shen Ning felt something was not right.
"Is this the direction to Beijing?"
Seeing the donkey cart passing a village and about to turn onto the main road she had been avoiding all along, her heart sank.
"yes!"
Seeing that her face looked strange, Granny Liu asked what was wrong. "That person must be looking for me too. He is afraid that my uncle will really go down that path. I am afraid..."
Shen Ning did not answer directly, but looked at Granny Liu pleadingly, "Grandma, can't we wear it and leave from the village? Even if we have to pay more, it will be fine."
this? Granny Liu hurriedly said to the old man driving the cart, "Sixth Brother, let's take the old road. My eldest niece is having a hard time right now."
Old Sixth Uncle had already seen Shen Ning's appearance.
The left side of his face was swollen and the slap mark was still very obvious.
Humph~ After you hit someone, you’re still afraid that they’ll go back to their parents’ home and complain?
When you see injustice, you should speak out.
Although I am old and can no longer roar, my silent roar is still a roar.
"Oh~"
The old man said nothing, but just pulled the reins and the donkey changed direction.
"Thank you, Uncle Six."
After making sure that they were getting farther and farther away from the avenue, Shen Ning hurriedly put her hands together to show her gratitude to Uncle Lao Liu!
Oh my God, this time, she managed to escape with her life, right?
She entered the Red Mansion not to taste the food, but to experience disaster.
After finally escaping from the dead body, Shen Ning was afraid that she would fall into another pit.
…
At Rongguo Mansion, Jia's grandmother looked at Lai Ma who was crying and making excuses, and wanted to find an excuse for her, but she couldn't find one.
"The Japanese kidnapped your grandchildren, so you obeyed them and even helped them enter and leave Rongguo Mansion, because Ningguo Mansion was beyond your reach."
The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She is tolerant, but is she tolerant to the point of being wrong?
That is to say, the Japanese are mainly targeting the Shen family, so they dare not alert them for the time being, otherwise her family...
When she thought of the children and grandchildren of the whole family who were almost on the verge of death because of this old woman, Jia's mother could not forgive her, "It's very good, very good!"
Her sons and daughters both made great efforts to suppress the Japanese delegation in Tianjin.
Don’t those Japanese hate it? He must hate it too.
But neither She'er nor Min'er can compare to Shen.
So, they seek the faraway place instead of the near one.
After realizing this, Jia's mother was both relieved and angry, "From now on, there will be no relationship between us."
According to her temper, she would have killed the whole family. But thinking about the Da Zhao Law and the Great Edict that Shen had vigorously promoted at home, the old lady knew very well that even if she gave this order, Zhu'er and the others would not listen to her.
"Madam, that's not the case."
Nanny Lai wanted to explain something, "Listen to me..."
"If you can tell me where those Japanese are now, I will listen," Jia Mu, who was about to leave, stopped, "otherwise, you should know the consequences!"
Aunt Lai: “…”
"I know that with your ability, if you are willing to ask, you can get a rough idea even if you don't know the specific direction."
After years of being a master and servant, Jia's mother knew Lai Ma's abilities. "Unless... you really want Shen to die and don't want to ask at all."
“…”
Nanny Lai couldn't cry anymore.
"The road—you walked through it yourself."
Without waiting for a reply, she only heard Lai Ma's crying. What else did Grandmother Jia not understand? It was she who harmed the Shen family! It was also her who almost killed the whole family.
No, she has killed a whole family.
If Shen can't come back, how will Zhu'er face Zhen'er and Rong'er in the future? she……
Thinking of the way Youshi looked at her just now, Grandmother Jia's steps began to stagger.
How will her children and grandchildren look at her in the future?
When Jia Min, who was supporting her, felt her hand sink, the old lady had already collapsed to the ground and fainted.
"old lady……"
Nanny Lai's voice was shrill. When she tried to pounce on him, Jia Zhu, who had arrived, kicked her back.
"uncle……"
"I don't deserve it!"
Jia Zhu waved his hand, and several strong servants came in quickly, "Hand them over to Chief Constable Lu."
Before she could finish her words, Nanny Lai was dragged out.
Lai Shangrong and the others were certainly not any better off. They didn't even have a chance to stand up. When they were violently dragged out, streaks of blood became more obvious amid their cries.
Youshi watched all this coldly. Lady Jia’s fainting did not affect her at all.
Her mother-in-law is in the hands of the Japanese.
For my mother-in-law, fainting might be a luxury.
She didn't even jump up, but she had already used up a lot of her strength by crying, shouting and making a fuss.
…
On this side, Kuroiwa Nami is still investigating bit by bit.
She didn't dare to let go of any of the villages on both sides of the avenue.
However, as time passed, the more she investigated, the less certain she became.
What she can think of, can't Shen think of?
Shen must have predicted that she would investigate from the villages on both sides, then...
If they were to give up the villages on both sides, Kuroiwa Nami would think about her poor health. No matter how smart she was, if her body was not in good shape, she would not be able to run far.
She didn't believe she could go far in an outfit like that.
While Kuroiwa Nami was trying hard to investigate further, Nagayama Takao and others on the mountain also sent people to investigate whenever they passed by the village several times, but all they got was disappointment again and again.
How did a woman who didn't even have shoes and had been pampered since childhood escape?
Or was she hiding somewhere again, watching their collapse from afar?
They were really devastated.
Yesterday during the day, they were excited to watch the excitement at the Jia family's home.
When he came back at night, he had a basin of cold water poured over his head, and then he pretended to be a ghost, screaming and running in the woods.
Now it’s non-stop…
They were physically tired and mentally desperate. Although they were still holding on for a breath, after repeated disappointments, they had no idea how far they could go.
Time slowly slipped away amid their anxiety and Shen Ning's anticipation.
There was a drizzle outside, and the mountains and forests in the distance were like a dream or a painting.
Even the donkey's cry of 'ah-oh, ah-oh' could make Ban'er and Qing'er giggle.
Although this official road left over from the previous dynasty has been abandoned for many years, people still walk on it and it is relatively flat.
Shen Ning felt extremely happy as she watched the people behind her getting further and further away.
If you survive a great disaster, you will be blessed in the future! Now is the time for her to enjoy her good life, right? Those Japanese...
As long as she thought about the fact that they were still desperately looking for her, the pain in her feet was nothing.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Granny Liu couldn't help but ask if she had ever met Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion.
“Come to think of it, Madam Shen and Madam Shen might have been a family five hundred years ago.”
Originally, they, the country folk, could not hear the gossip about the wealthy families in the capital, but ever since Jia Jing was stripped naked by Chen Ning and all his private property was taken away, the gossip has been endless.
“I heard that this Madam Shen is this.”
Granny Liu gave a thumbs up and said, "She has two muskets. With a few crackling shots, she can kill a few people."
"Hahaha!"
The old uncle who was driving the cart was amused by her, "The fire gun doesn't make a crackling sound, it makes a 'bang bang' sound, and when that thing fires a shot, most people's arms will be hurt by the vibration." There were two fire guns, which made him laugh to death.
"I heard that when Madam Shen killed someone, the fire gun had the least power."
"Could it be that she can use a cannon?"
Granny Liu is full of thirst for knowledge.
Even Shen Ning couldn't help but look at Old Sixth Uncle.
What made her most uncomfortable during this robbery was that she didn't have a musket.
Without the guy who can save my life, I have no confidence in doing anything.
“There is a saying that Mrs. Shen’s mouth is like a cannon in the sky, and Mrs. Shen’s board sweeps across a large area.”
He often went to Beijing and knew much more than Liu Laolao.
"We knew that the Jin princes came to ask for help, but how come after begging for help, they even lost their country?"
The sixth uncle laughed, "That was all because Madam Shen used her sharp tongue to blast them away."
Shen Ning: “…”
She didn't know what expression to make.
Will she still have the face to see Aunt Liu after being gossiped about by Uncle Six like this?
"How did it disappear? Uncle Six, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now."
Wang Gou'er also became excited.
So the old uncle started to babble...
From Chen Ning's repeated attacks on Huitong Hall to Suo Jin's men going to the Jia family to deliver betrothal gifts, all the beggars and children in the capital were mobilized.
"Look!"
He pulled out a red string from his neck, on which was tied a golden copper coin. "That day I went to join in the fun and picked up eighteen copper coins. Everyone said that this was a lucky gift and also a fortune. Nowadays, one such coin is worth twenty.
Everyone in our family has one now, and there are a few extra, so even our future great-grandchildren will have one. ”
Uncle Six is particularly proud.
"Oh, I didn't even encounter such a big thing."
Wang Gou'er slapped his thigh and said, "Uncle, lend me your money!"
"Yes, they are all big coins newly made last year."
As expected, the old uncle lent him the money and said, "Although it looks the same as other big coins, it is said to be the last batch of newly minted coins. It is slightly different from the previous ones. You see, the more you wear it, the yellower it becomes, just like gold."
In the market, some people use other money to speculate as auspicious money or financial money, but people like him who have received auspicious money or financial money know that such money will never be sold.
“It’s so beautiful!”
The more Wang Gou'er looked at it, the more he liked it. "Oh, it would be nice if I had a few coins like this at home."
I have personally tested that soaking your feet in Huoxiang Zhengqi water can relieve colds, headaches, etc.
